Posted: Friday, October 13, 2000

The Athens Academy Spartans had a successful day at the annual RMA Invitational in Gainesville Thursday afternoon. The Lady Spartans showed why they are ranked number one in Class A as they dominated a field with numerous AA and AAA teams from Hall County and the surrounding area. All seven runners were under 24 minutes as they placed three in the top ten en route to posting a team score of 52 to easily outdistance West Hall, Union County and Gainesville.

In the J.V. races, Athens Academy's Ntumwa Kisaalita finished fourth, while Elizabeth Howard was third in the girls competition to lead the Spartans.

The Spartans are traveling to Greenville, SC this weekend for the Furman University Invitational and then are at home Tuesday for the Athens City Championship which will include Clarke Central, Cedar Shoals, Prince Avenue and Athens Christian.
